At least seven cats and three dogs were rescued from the Gorge Road building, a volunteer with the Bergen County Protect and Rescue Foundation said.

The residents may be able to return once the building is inspected and the building's owner restores utilities, Stewart Devito, director of the Cliffside Park office of emergency management, said. The fire was extinguished without any injury to residents, Chief Brian Marton of the Cliffside Park Volunteer Fire Department said.
